The article in toyfare says it's the first DC VS MOTU two pack their allowed to mention.

Implying that more two packs are coming.

So this first one I understand...but what is the reasoning behind more?

We need to let our new friends at Super 7 know that many of us are ALL IN COLLECTORS. We don't want products that are impossible for the average collector to have access to! If there is a He-man product, I want to buy it. Please no chases or con-only exclusives.

Well, this will be interesting. I'm not going to buy that 2-pack since I already have both of those characters and the comic appears to be in Mini-size. But interesting never the less. I wonder who will Skeletor be packed with?

The 2 things that make this figure look odd IMO are the yellow bracelets and the pink on the belt. I think he would look great with a metallic orange belt with metallic red circles and then gold painted bracelets. I think that would be a good compromise.

In the comic only Skeletor has the "yellow" power Sword. He-Man has his axe in the battle so.... I just dont see how Skeletor is going to come now. Another Superman 2pk would be a waste. We will have to wait and see I guess.

Mattel / DC, if you're listening, please do a She-Ra vs Wonder Woman [and the Star Riders] 2-Pack with a reprint of the Kellogg's Mini-Buns comic. Even though She-Ra never featured in that comic, it makes sense because the toy line was heavily influenced by POP and would have even reused the molds for the horses and Clawdeen.

The package in the HEMAN vs SUPERMAN is awesome, but Im going to pass. I don´t want another Heman, nor another Superman in my collection. The only reason I would buy one is Superman in MOTUC style. That would be very great, but Mattel don´t want to spend on new tooling.

I agree with many posters, that if this brings MOTUC to retail then it can only be a good thing for the line. Increased exposure, means greater profits and that translates into a better tooling budget. And may even move MOTUC Ram Man up the schedule.

Personally, I'm going to have to decide in the next few weeks how much of a completist I want to be with this line. At the moment I've been working on the principle of one of each different figure (I open everything). Faced as I am now with flocked and non-flocked ears on Moss Man, Pink-Belt He-Man and Yellow-Face Skeletor I need to reassess my position.

As good as retail sales would be for the line, selling these figures at retail opens the floodgates for variants. If all previously released figures get re-released at retail with slight deco changes like this He-Man, then do I really want to pick them up?
